[joebe1]

few! just about got the pics up there after about 2 weeks of waiting for the net to speed up! joe sprayed the mini for me ages ago the colour is nighthawlk black and united grey

[joebe1]

so in the first pic you have the rear subby all shultz holding the hi hos and the reconditioned swing arm wit new bush and bearing.new flexible brake hose,rear brake cylinder, brake shews,brake adjuster and wheel bearing (the old shock holding everything in place)

in the next pic ya have the front subby with new rubber mounting bushes which holds the hi los on the top swing arm with new lower swing arm and tie rod bushes, 2 new ball joints on the hubs which will in time hold metro 4 pots on new vented discs.the 4 tabs on the flanges have been turned down on the lathe and half shafts built up to accommodate the new set up and new track rod ends and bearings fitted as well-oh ya not forgetting the braided hose conversion for the 4 pots

and in the last pic the clear coat has been spraded
its amazing, i now truly know the meaning of easer said than done! worth it though

[joebe1]

the brake and clutch masters have been put in as well as the pedal box,it was great to see an extra pedal for the clutch cause i hated that automatic engine!the wiring loom is also in and the engine is ready to be put in

[joebe1]

joe and meself fitted the engine,LCB and inlet manifold today
the tracking is a bit out in the las pic! nothing that cant be fixed!

Car looking good lads missed seeing it over last few weeks, keep posting pictures.Crutches gone leg better ?.

[kerryminigringo]

Joe got the brown envelope and suddenly the leg was better.

[The Marcos Graveyard]

But then he donated the crutch to someone more needy.

[joebe1]

CRUTCHES two sets[4] for sale now surples to requirments only slightly used, partly painted [united gray with black spots] something has to go to finish this clubman ..12X6 deepdish wheels & group 4 arches coming Friday.

[The Marcos Graveyard]

Group 4 ?

Are they like the ones on the security vans ?

[joebe1]

My mistake TMG was still thinking about the no. of crutches we have for sale! Should have said Group5 euro arches.

[The Marcos Graveyard]

We all knew that.

[joebe1]

[The Marcos Graveyard]

You'll probably find that they work better with pads in.

[joebe1]

[The Marcos Graveyard]
